I never actually posted photos of the first evil unhaul, just the pictures of the stuffed ittle free libraries afterwards. My shelves have been overcrowded for some time so this was a necessary evil but still so difficult!
The ladder is full of tbr books that just will never be priority reads. All of them were intresting when I bought them, but a mix of changing tastes and new buys have edged them out. The chair is stacked with the books I've read and no longer need/have room for. A mix of doubles or tales I'm never going to reread.
All of these will end up in little free libraries or donated to the thrift store. Well a few will be put aside for credit at a secondhand bookstore I like!
🦇 Good afternoon, my beloved bookish bats. Whether you identify as a bookish bat, bookworm, or book dragon, it's our shared love of books and the vivid stories they hold that unite us all.
📚 No, we will not pick just one favorite book. Yes, we do carry a book (or ereader) with us everywhere we go (social events included). Yep, we'll definitely talk your ear off about the last book we read (good or bad).

I just finished The City We Became by NK Jemisin and I already want to dive into book 2, The World We Make, so, so bad, because, shit, living cities, intertextuality, myths passed down in history, Lovecraftian monsters, queer and poc main characters, vibrant language, modern, rhythmic style? Totally my jam, yeah, that's what I live and breathe for, and I need the next story now. But also it's close to 6am and sure, it's Sunday, and sure, I'm super jobless and only thing on my agenda is finding a goddamn job, but just because my life has less direction than a car without a wheel, doesn't mean that I should encourage my self-destructive tendencies by jumping into another 400 pages book right now... Right? Right? Just a chapter. Just a chapter and I'll go to bed... One chapter. (every bookworm around the world, laughing at me: yeah, sure, sister. One chapter. We believe you. Have fun not sleeping.)
